I think this depends a lot on how you are wired. Not everyone thinks of their job as their identity (some certainly do). Some people would just do the job for the lots of money/security and do something more meaningful in their spare t

This will probably continue to happen. Google/FB etc. used content that was created by others to monetize them but kept the profits away from the content creators. This resulted in a lot of original content going away (See the death sp

Don't kick yourself. I had a locked in family price of $14.99 and it is going up to $22.99 (more than a 50% hike). My consolation mail started with "Thank you for being a loyal member throughout our journey. "

Surprised that this post does not talk about one of the most successful referral programs I have seen (way before Dropbox): Paypal. I certainly made a bunch of money and got a few friends signed up back in the day.

I have done this but it is not really a matter of "opting in". This is simply paying more for removing ads. People on the cheaper plans do not get to check a box to opt out of an ad. The price for the ad free plan is almost double

Yep. There are subscription levels with and without ads. I believe the ad free is $7 more per month.

Not to be pedantic but this is not an RFC (yet). It is only a draft and should hopefully become an RFC in the future. The basic difference is that a draft is versioned and can change in content but an RFC is stable. Also, RFCs are certainly

I think it is worse. The people who are willing to pay $57 to opt out of ads are probably the most profitable (I am guessing here: no citation available). Seems like a case of Adverse selection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&
